I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many elementary students struggle with the transition from memorizing procedures to understanding why math works the way it does. Word problems, multi-step problems, and building number sense are frequent pain points. With Charlotte's diverse curriculum approaches across our 31 school districts, students may also find themselves confused when classroom instruction doesn't click with their learning style—personalized tutoring helps bridge these gaps by explaining concepts in ways that make sense to each student.

Expert tutors focus on helping students see the patterns and connections behind math concepts rather than just following steps. For example, instead of just teaching 'how to add fractions,' a tutor helps a student understand what fractions represent and why you need a common denominator. This deeper understanding builds confidence and makes it easier for students to tackle new problems independently, since they understand the 'why' behind the math.

Absolutely. Math anxiety is common, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction in a low-pressure environment can make a huge difference. Tutors work at your child's pace, celebrate small wins, and help rebuild confidence by breaking problems into manageable steps. When students experience success and understand concepts deeply rather than just guessing, their anxiety naturally decreases and they start to enjoy math more.

Showing work helps teachers (and tutors) understand how a student is thinking, not just whether they got the right answer. It reveals whether a student understands the concept or just got lucky. Tutors use this insight to target instruction exactly where a student needs it. Learning to organize and explain their thinking also helps students catch their own mistakes and develop problem-solving strategies they can use independently.

When you connect with a tutor through Varsity Tutors, you can share details about your child's textbook, curriculum approach, and specific topics they're working on. Tutors are experienced with different math programs and teaching methods used across Charlotte's schools, so they can reinforce what's being taught in class while also filling in conceptual gaps. This alignment ensures tutoring supports classroom learning rather than creating confusion.

The first session is typically a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor assesses your child's strengths, identifies specific challenges, and learns about their learning style. Rather than jumping into problem-solving, tutors use this time to build rapport and understand what's been confusing. You'll leave with a clear picture of where your child stands and how personalized tutoring can help them move forward.

Strong problem solvers don't just calculate—they read carefully, break problems into steps, and check their work. Tutors teach explicit strategies like drawing pictures, making lists, or working backwards, then guide students to recognize which strategy works best for different problem types. Over time, students develop a toolkit of approaches and the confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems, which is the real goal of elementary math.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong backgrounds in mathematics and experience teaching elementary students. Many have education degrees, subject matter expertise, or years of tutoring experience. All tutors go through a vetting process to ensure they're qualified to teach. When you're matched with a tutor, you'll have information about their background so you can feel confident in their ability to help your child.
